Jeremy Pena With A Home Run, Three RBI Wednesday
8 months agoHouston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 8-0 romp over the Blue Jays. It was the 26-year-old's fourth multi-hit performance in seven games, and he's now 10-for-25 (.400) to begin the year, with two home runs, six RBI, and three runs scored. While the former World Series MVP saw a dip in power last season after belting 22 home runs in 2022, he reduced his K% by increasing his contact rate and his BB% in 2023. Pena was working on some swing adjustments in the preseason to regain some power and it looks to be paying off. If he can continue to hit for both power and average, he'll prove to be a late-round value after going off of 2024 fantasy draft boards around pick 224.
